This is the first book in the Bradens at Ridgeport series. I’m glad that I started with the first book I detest coming in the middle of a series. I must admit this is my first time reading a book by this author. I see that she is quite prolific and has quite a number of books that I need to read in the future. Clay is a football player, popular, handsome, and wealthy. Pepper is a scientist, smart, busy, intelligent and she wants nothing to do with Mr. Perfect the playboy. Now because of family events they seem to all keep being around each other. Clay is more intentional because he’s attracted to her and wants to get to know her better. Pepper is just too involved in her business and her family and Clay is everything she has avoided. However, when in Paris things shift. They spend some time together, a magical night and she even blows off work for him. But, when back at home Pepper realizes that Paris was Paris and it was just a brief interlude. Clay doesn’t see it that way and he persists on getting Pepper to open up to him. Nothing is better than opposites attract because 2 wildly different people get together and realize that they just aren’t that different. Great story, I enjoyed the characters, the plot and the beginning of an amazing series.
